Trump didn’t need to be told by the DOJ that his name is all over the files. He knows it based on his relationship with Epstein.

At least there will be no sham "plausible deniability" now.

We knew his name was all over the Epstein files a very long time ago. How about in 2016?And assholes still voted for the pedo.

So— what are we gonna do with this information? Let them silence Epstein girlfriend, with reduced sentence? How on earth did he think he could keep it quiet, without bribes and maybe, even murder?

Given that we now know that Trump's name was splattered throughout the FBI's and DOJ's records in the Epstein files, what's the next step?

There isn't a soul on earth who could believe that Trump's DOJ and FBI could convey the appearance of a fair and impartial review of those files to recommend a totally appropriate and apolitical recommendation on next steps. That being said, Congress and the American people would expect that a fair and apolitical independent Special Counsel or Special Prosecutor be appointed to oversee this endeavor.

And this is where the case goes south. Given Trump's and Bondi's inability to have Alina Habba, Trump's totally incompetent personal lawyer and die-hard Trump sycophant, confirmed as the U.S. Attorney for the State of New Jersey, I suspect that they will extort and threaten everyone in their path to accede to her or another Trump lackey's appointment to this position, where they will totally white-wash Trump regardless of the evidence.

While DOJ policy strictly prohibits the indictment of a sitting President, and since it is highly unlikely that even Trump's judges on the Supreme Court would rule that a sitting President could pardon himself, any criminal repercussions would most likely be deferred until the end of his term.

There are, of course, civil consequence if women move to nullify their "Catch and Kill" agreements with Trump on the grounds that those agreements were violated the public interest.

All of this, of course, is very problematic, but as the word spreads about how often Trump's name appears throughout Epstein's records, Trump and Bondi will be on the hot seat, as will members of Congress whose constituencies will be calling for fair and impartial action to be taken, including full disclosures.

After all, as the saying goes, "Sunlight is the best disinfectant."

And therein lies the toxin that invades the entire body politic: a complete lack of faith in institutions and those who administer them. Which is why I believe America, as everyone once knew it, is essentially over at this point. If anyone truly has faith in the systems at this point, it's simply being wistful and sentimental.

The illusion of the former America will persist for some time though, which is extremely useful for those with pernicious goals to abuse and take advantage of. It's quite insidious.

That is also called “Tampering with the evidence” which is illegal.

Trump didn't just get his nasty rocks off by raping little girls, word was Trump got excited by hurting, slapping, choking out, and threatening them. Brutalizing young girls made Trump feel like a big man. Imagine how sick, twisted and fucked up a guy's head has to be to get sexual pleasure from debasing and just generally abusing teen girls the same age as was his daughter?

I got a seat on the “dog gum” plane. Would you like to “cum” with me? “Stay out of the lounge” = entire plane is a lounge!

Jeffrey Epstein started sex trafficking girls as early as 2002, federal investigations and charges specifically describing his abuse and trafficking of underage girls between 2002 and 2005

2003: Trump’s name is listed among dozens of Mr. Epstein’s acquaintances who were asked to contribute birthday messages for the leather-bound book in 2003.

In that book, Trump’s signed note within a sketch of a naked woman:  “A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday - and may every day be another wonderful secret”

What’s your secret Donald?
